* Destination: Brazil

Posted on May 5th, 2009 by Kathy. Filed under Beauty, Flowers.


Even if you aren’t going to Brazil for your honeymoon or destination bachelorette, you can still get a little taste of some spectacular goodies from New York’s MoMA Store.  They just launched an exclusive product collection featuring materials usually only found in Brazil.  Some of the jewelry is truly unique, especially this amazing rose brooch made out of fish scales!

* Oldies but Goodies (Pt. 3)

Posted on April 30th, 2009 by Kathy. Filed under Beauty.


Chantecaille has some truly exquisite eye shadow palettes.  According to Fashionista, 5% of proceeds from this featured compact are donated towards protecting whales!  A little pricey at $98, but definitely a work of art.

* Etsy Shops we Love: Austie’s Shop and SarahSeven

Posted on April 22nd, 2009 by Margaret. Filed under Beauty, Things we heart, Wedding Dress, Wedding Inspiration.


We were lucky enough to have stumbled upon Austie’s Shop on Etsy. We absolutely adore these headpieces as conjure images of a simpler, yet more glamorous time.

Austie’s Shop collaborates with another great Etsy find, SarahSeven.  

This dress is called the Peaceful Afternoon Dress, but we think it’d make a great wedding dress, too.

* Bride Beauty Tip: Decollette Pads!

Posted on March 26th, 2009 by Jeannie. Filed under Beauty.


You want your wedding day to be perfect, and that includes everything — right down to satiny, smooth looking skin, right!? I have to share this beauty product that my girlfriends are all wild over: Decollette Pads.

You put them on right before you go to sleep and wake up with a wrinkle-free chest! They are especially helpful if you tend to sleep on your side and notice those pesky creases on your chest the next morning. So there you have  it - one less thing to stress over before your big day!

* Signature Wedding Fragrance - Chanel No. 5

Posted on October 23rd, 2008 by Margaret. Filed under Beauty.


Wearing a new fragrance on your wedding day is such a cute way to remember the big day. I wore Chanel No. 5 the day of my wedding, and smelling the fragrance always reminds me of how special our day was. It’s almost like preserving time in a bottle…. and putting on the perfume will serve as a reminder of all the memories that are made on the wedding day.
